14. Lets get that album !

Place your audio CD in the PC's CD drive and let it load.

If Audiograbber doesn't list the tracks as quickly as you'd expect, click on the 'Refresh' button.

MP3

Audiograbber will display the information stored on the CD such as track length and file size in CD audio format (not MP3 which as approx. a tenth of the size).

It will also assume that you want to rip the entire album by 'ticking' every track.

Location of stored files
Basic album track display.


15. What about my track names ?

If you don't feel like manually entering all tracknames, you can press the 'Freedb' button and let the penguins find them for you.

Database search

This searches a world wide database with information about almost every cd ever made.

Much of the information is contributed by the public, similar to Wiki's for encyclopedia's, and you may get a choice of albums, and even some where the contributors can't spell particular track names !

Tracks
Let the Penguins find the track names.


Some older or more obscure albums may not be stored on the database, sometimes you may find that a promotional CD from a magazine is !

If its not, then you will have to manually enter the information, but since 'H.A.A.R.P live at Wembley' by MUSE is in the database we can move on.

Magic
As if by magic.
